Mother of all Chocolate Cakes
Wow. You are lucky that you know about this blog because you just hit the jackpot. I'm going to give you the recipe for the best chocolate cake you'll ever make. Seriously. Mom made one and so did I, and we both agree that it's the best chocolate cake we've ever made. It's moist, rich, fluffy, chocolaty, delicious frosting and melts in your mouth, what more could you ask for in a chocolate cake? You can't and you don't. I promise, this one will be a hit wherever and whenever you serve it. If someone complains about it, throw that person out head first, you don't need that kind of person in your life. The ingredient that really makes the cake is the espresso powder, it gives this rich and deep flavour that is just sensational! It's not complicated to make this one and it doesn't take much time at all, maybe all in all 10 max 15 minutes (not including the baking time of course). Easy peasy.
